Anderson Cup (Ulster hockey)
- Anderson Cup (Ulster hockey)
The Anderson Cup is a hockey tournament for clubs that are members of the Premier League of the Ulster Senior League.
Trophy
The trophy was donated to the Ulster Hockey Union of the Irish Hockey Association by Mr T N Anderson as a memorial for his brother Captain J G Anderson MC. Captain Anderson was a prominent member of the Banbridge Hockey Club and Irish International player who was killed whilst serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps in World War I. One of the conditions requested by the donor was that the Final should be played at the ground of Banbridge Hockey Club. The Ulster Hockey Union agreed to this condition except for when Banbridge was one of the Finalists.
Current Format
The eight clubs in the Premier League of the Ulster Senior League are drawn into two sections of four teams. Each team plays the other teams in its Pool twice, on a home and away basis. The first place team in each section then plays the runner-up from the other section in the semi-finals.
